About the entrepreneur

Miriam lives in Mlango Kubwa with her husband and her two children. She operates a small salon where she provides hair and beauty services to the women in her neighborhood. Her husband is a clerk at another store in the same neighborhood. Along with raising her two children, Miriam also is caring for her sister's child since her sister passed away. She says her greatest challenge is making sure the children are all provided for and are able to be in school.

About the loan

Miriam would like to receive a loan from Missions of Hope in order to expand her business. She would do this by investing in more hair products and offering expanded services to her clients. As her business expands and generates more profit, Miriam's goal is to make sure the children's school fees are paid for. Her business goals include expanding her salon until she can open another one in another part of her neighborhood.
